Bring back proper bins where you had to do a whole Village People routine to move them from one place to another, for convenience.

Cheers Owlie. I just wanted a non poo poo bin as the last one I bought from asda was 70 quid and is actually too big for the binbags they sell and then fell apart.

Pharmacy binbags going strong tho.

I'm surprised asda sell £70 bins tbh.

If you want just a pretty durable bin you are probably best looking for the commercial type ones, with minimal mechanisms to break.

Your bin bags should have a liter capacity somewhere so get a bin a bit smaller in liters than your bags and it should fit.

If your bin is too deep for your bin bags you could put an old tub or something upside down in the bottom to make it shallower.

I would probably get a plastic one though so you can boil it when it gets minging.

Yeah there are a bunch of standard size factory and office and shop bins and bags for said bins that are cheap.

And then there are a bunch of Better Homes & Gardens magazine bins that are not cheap.

If you have access to a pharmacy you could also steal one of their green totes which are basically indestructible. Hopper do not read the preceding post.

E: Oh neat you can actually just buy the fuckers and the dollies for them too.

I think I hosed up as I found a bin that auto opens and seems decent from swan and in yellow to match my stupid bee coloured kitchen! So I hunted it down cheaply and ordered one.

Then I remembered this is a thing.



I'm going to have to fish him out of the bin repeatedly aren't I. He's not smart.

If you have pets generally I feel like smart devices are not a good idea, bins especially because a lot of animals are prone to eating from and or jumping in the bin, yeah. And at the least they're going to be constantly setting off the device.

Some old gods are crazy and grim, but if the awakening happens in Ireland you'll get a broad tonal range: from uncaring sea creatures who just want you live underwater forever, to this one guy who built so many houses he became a God.

Michael Gove and David Cameron both wanted to teach that the real history of The Isles involved Brutus of Troy and the Sea People defeating all the Irish giants and taking their big rocks to build Britain.

I'm not sure what the moral of that is other than "this is a thing that did not actually happen" but yes some of the old gods are larval frogs and others are warlords.

Hello, dear
thank you people for the genuine concern about my recent health changes

the headaches became too much to sleep through and i was referred by a private optometrist (couldn't see the GP without a 6 week wait) to a specialist eye casualty and by them directly to A&E at one of the relatively better equipped hospitals in northern ireland as a high priority patient (they suspected stroke or aneurysm when i was first triaged) and i still had to spend 22 hours sitting on a chair in a cubicle in A&E with 7 other very ill people crammed into it along with some of their family members who understandably refused to leave them. The seats were bus station style seats and it was obvious the cubicle was not designed to be a treatment area but a waiting area for family members or whatever - our drips were hung on coat hooks screwed into the walls behind us.

There was minimal care: you had to ask for pain relief or anything else every time you needed it and if you were lucky you'd get it within an hour - this included people who needed their oxygen tanks replaced. There was an old confused lady with a head injury and nobody with her and she was looked after by the wife of another patient and, after she left, the daughter of another patient - they were able to calm her down when she forgot where she was and got upset and they also took her to the toilet because there was nobody else to do it. The only thing that got us all through was talking to each other and getting each other through the night and day. I brought my work laptop and a book but even with that it was hard to get through the night. Twice we witnessed an extra loud alarm going off and all the staff running past in the same direction and people on trolleys were very shortly thereafter pushed right past our faces being rushed to resus with a doctor straddling them doing chest compressions. There was a toilet cubicle across from us where people were vomiting, retching or/and making GBS threads explosively. A few people came and went, discharging themselves because they couldn't take it and those who'd waited in the main waiting area without being triaged as priority said they'd seen dozens do that in there the day before - the poor bastards thought they would go somewhere better next, not somewhere so much worse. I was there from lunchtime on Tuesday until almost the same time on Wednesday before i was transferred to a bed in an ambulatory ward. The porter told me some of the people on trolleys we were passing on the way out had been there since Saturday

Anyhow, a chest x-ray, two CT scans, two MRIs, a lumbar puncture and countless blood tests later i was discharged today. i have been diagnosed with horner's syndrome and i've been told neurology will call me in every few months to check on it. the good news is i've been told i'm probably not going to die from it imminently

the eye thing is permanent and that wouldn't be good for anyone who cared about their appearance. i've already noticed people looking at me differently but personally i quite like it. i fancy people won't be too quick to argue with someone whose eyes don't match :)
